We investigate whether asynchronous computational models and asynchronous algorithms can be considered for designing real-time distributed fault-tolerant systems. A priori, the lac...
A failure detector is a distributed oracle that provides processes in a distributed system with hints about failures. The notion of a weakest failure detector captures the exact a...
We present fault detectors for transient faults, (i.e. corruptions of the memory of the processors, but not of the code of the processors). We distinguish fault detectors for tasks...
Failure detectors — oracles that provide information about process crashes — are an important ion for crash tolerance in distributed systems. Although current failure-detector...

Fault tolerant algorithms are often designed under the t-out-of-n assumption, which is based on the assumption that all processes or components fail independently with equal proba...
